Ubisoft has just released details for their the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey post-launch plan with the introduction of a unique episodic format.

This episodic season pass and narrative content will release on a regular basis, giving players a steady flow of new content to experience. The season pass will provide gamers with access to two additional major storylines each containing three episodes while all players will receive free story missions called The Lost Tales of Greece. Gamers can choose to dive into new episodes as they premiere or experience the epic adventures in their entirety once all episodes are made available.

Ubisoft then provides a breakdown of the season pass as follows…

The Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Season Pass includes:

Story Arc 1 – Legacy of the First Blade: This episodic adventure will introduce players to the first hero to wield the iconic hidden blade, changing the course of history. Players will learn more about the backstory of the Assassins and why they choose to fight from the shadows. Starting December 2018, episodes will be released approximately six weeks apart.

Story Arc II – The Fate of Atlantis: In the second story arc, players will confront godly creatures and uncover the secrets of the legendary sunken city. In a surprising saga filled with twists and turns, players will get even closer to Greek mythology and the First Civilization. Coming spring 2019, episodes will be released approximately six weeks apart.

Assassin’s Creed III Remastered: Ignite the American Revolution as Connor, the master assassin born of the beauty and the brutality of 18th century America.

Assassin’s Creed III Remastered will be released in March 2019 and will include:

All the DLCs: Benedict Arnold Missions, Hidden Secrets Pack and Tyranny of King George.

The Remastered editions will feature 4K and & HDR on PS4™ Pro, Xbox One X and PC, higher resolution textures, new graphics engine, and several more other graphical enhancements. Gameplay mechanics and ergonomics have also been improved.

In addition, an extensive lineup of free content including new narrative content and in-game events will be available for all players after launch, including:
